History:

Superman was born Kal-L, son or Jor-L and Lara, on the planet Krypton sometime shortly before World War I.
Krypton was a dying planet, racked by a series of seismic upheavals that spelled the ultimate doom of the alien world. Jor-L, a
leading Kryptonian scientist, recognized the dangers inherent in these upheavals and prepared a ship to take his small son,
Kal-L, to safety in the event of a planet-wide disaster. When the fateful day arrived, Jor-L rocketed his son to a new life on that
distant world. As Kal-L was just a babe-in-arms, he had no knowledge of his parents or the world of which he was born.

Kal-L landed on Earth in the late 1910's, an event witnessed by passers-by John and Mary Kent. The Kents rescued the boy
from the crashed ship, which destroyed itself later. The Kents took young Kal-L to a local orphanage, declaring him an
abandoned child. Young Kal-L soon proved too much for the nurses there to handle and when the Kents returned to adopt the
boy, he was gladly released. (Action Comics #1, Secret Origins Volume #2, #1).They named the boy Clark and took him
home to raise on a Smallville farm.

Clark grew up a bright lad and farm hand to his parents in the 1920's and '30's with little suspicion of his fledgling
super-powers. Eventually, Mary Kent passed on and John Kent joined her soon after. Before he
died, he warned Clark that his powers might frighten people and exhorted him to use those powers to champion the cause of
justice and the common good. Clark took his adopted father's advice to heart and decided to create a new identity for himself
that would pursue justice while allowing him a human identity. he create a costume similar to one he had seen on his teen-age
mentor and adopted the identity of Superman.

Clark made two decisions that affected his career as Superman. First, he decided that he needed to leave the small town of his
youth to move to a large city to have greater access to the needy population. To this end, he boarded up his family home and
moved to Metropolis. Second, he needed a job that would give him instant access to news and word of crime and disaster. To
this end, he sought employment from George Taylor at the Daily Star. When Taylor declined to offer him employment, Kent
became determined to prove himself to the Star's editor. As Supermam, Kent prevented the lynching of a local man believed
guilty of aiding a local girl, Evelyn Curry, in a murder. After Superman dispersed the crowd, he returned the man to jail and was
made privy to the truth. The victim, Jack Kennedy, had been murdered by Bea Caroll, a local night club act. Returning to his
guise as Clark Kent, Superman reported the story to Taylor, who gave him a job on the spot for getting the story. Back as
Superman, Kent tracked Bea Caroll and wrung a confession from here. In a midnight run to the governors mansion, Superman
roused the state leader and shared Caroll's confession with him. Curry was saved in a last minute pardon and the case brought
Superman to national attention (Action #1). As Kent, he gave the story to George Taylor, impressing the editor enough to offer
Kent a job. Kent's first assignement: To learn everything possible about Superman.

One of Superman's co-workers at the Star was a fellow reporter named Lois Lane. Lane was an aggressive career woman, an
unusual characteristic in those days (Action Comics #1). With the appearance of the costumed super-hero, Lane became first
fascinated and then enamored to the Man of Steel. She ruthlessly pursued him and in time, Superman returned her affections.
Rather than expose her to the risk of association with his costumed identity, he approached her in his secret identity as Clark
Kent. Unfortunately, Kent adopted a mousy and demure facade to project a cowardly image, contrasting himself with
Superman. As such, Lane had little more than contempt for Kent, referring to him as a "milksop" or a "worm". Superman thus
spent many years in his early career in a bizarre love triange with Lois Lane and both forms of himself.

On the other hand, Kent found a friend in a young assistant named Jimmy Olsen (Action Comics #6). Olsen was a office boy at
the Daily Planet who had asperations to be a great reporter and idolized the sucessful Kent. Kent rewarded Olsen's loyalty and
admiration by also befriending him as Superman, even helping the "cub" reporter get the scoop when he defeated the Archer
(Superman #13). Olson started his career at the Planet as pre-teen in the 1930's and remained there throughout the war years.
